I Resolve

or, rather, considered            
pledging some new start              
to a regime              
I've previously failed              
             
Yet realized succeeding              
isn't important;            
striving is              
             
So, whatever undertaking            
this eve of new beginning            
remember you cannot fail              
in the attempting          
             
There are only second              
third, even fifty-fifth            
chances to attain;            
             
all a new prelude              
despite the date              
             
Living can be success            
but I prefer to believe            
trying keeps us alive            
             
moving forward            
technicolor dreaming     
             
without strangling            
on our own blood  
counting mistakes           
             
It's rising again              
after resting a while            
Heeding the call             
" Don't give up "            
             
Resolving to fight            
even unto death;  
because no matter how  
you perceive you've failed . . .      
   
each day you breathe    
you've won              
             
~            
             
             
             
   
   
   
For my J, my Love and inspiration;  
such unfailing Faith in Us. 💜            
             
For all who are struggling with  
loneliness or other personal  
demons this day; You aren't alone. 💕            
             
May 2018 Bless each of you at DUP  
with much Love and Happiness.              
             
May we all be more compassionate.🎊❤
